PDF Report Server App error : firefox-i386/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/pdfserver/bin/firefox-i386/dep/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: file too short

I installed the PDF Report Server App on my linux box.

Installed the following packages :

fontconfig
libxrender1
libxinerama1

Enabled the app in alert_actions.conf

Set the Link hostname in Email Alert Settings

The staus page shows the following error inside the blue box: Failed to load PDF Document

Running the command- sudo /opt/splunk/etc/apps/pdfserver/bin/firefox-i386/firefox gave the following error :

firefox-i386/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/splunk/etc/apps/pdfserver/bin/firefox-i386/dep/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: file too short

When i try to preview the pdf in Actions--> Schedule pdf delivery.., for my view (built using advanced xml), i get the following error:

An error occurred while rendering the PDF: PDF server at /services/pdfserver/renderpdf returned error: Failed to generate a report using Firefox: Failed to start: Check that all Firefox dependencies are met

Increased the firefox_timeout in the pdf_server.conf

If the lib files are empty then you have the same issue I encountered.

Try to reinstall the app through the tar command (tar xvzf pdfserver.tar.gz) and restart splunk. Now the files should be linked to the correct libraries and everything should be ok.

I don't know why but the installation of the app through the web manager doesn't work correctly.

Thankyou for your response. The lib files seem to be fine

Weird. Could you give us the result of : ls -l /opt/splunk/etc/apps/pdfserver/bin/firefox-i386/dep/lib/

This is what I was saying. The lib files are not linked correctly to each other.

Your files should be :

total 21060

You should try to :

uninstall pdfreport server
check the checksum of your pdfserver.tar.gz file
reinstall pdfreport server with the command tar xvzf pdfserver.tar.gz in etc/apps

This worked for me.

And it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. Is that a bug?

Great !
I think this is a bug. I reported it to Splunk support.
